Challenges

Professor Richard Foster of Yale University found that the average lifespan of a company in the S&P 500 index has decreased from 61 years in 1958 to just 18 years today, a run rate that would mean that by 2027, more than three-quarters of the S&P 500 will not exist (source: Life expectancy of companies).

‘Adapt to survive’ has become to mantra for all businesses. The businesses that will survive in today’s globalised, digitised world are those that can get the right products to market fast, and continually adapt to meet the evolving market.

The time of the ‘big bang waterfall’ type deliveries has gone, any business who expects that their customers will wait months or even years for products and services which are then not aligned with the customer’s needs will not survive. This is what the market is already experiencing, as highlighted by Forbes and Professor Foster.

There must be a better way

There is most definitely a better way utilising Scaled Agile, Lean, Kanban and DevOps methods. A key focus of all of these frameworks is to work in small value driven batches, delivering the products and services that the customer wants in the least possible time to market, the nirvana, enabled by DevOps, is to deliver value to the customer continuously.

However, as with many things, setting the appropriate focus on time to market is a balance with other factors within the business. There is little point getting the wrong products at the wrong quality delivered fast.
